Coleman Technologies Help South Surrey Jeweller With Complete Technology Solution

José & Co. Custom Jewellers is a boutique company based out of South Surrey, British Columbia, devoted to the production and sale of beautiful pieces of jewellery. They were looking for something more than just a technology company that would fix their computers after they’d already suffered another break down. They were tired of wasting money struggling to get their work done with systems that just weren’t keeping up with their needs. They needed help, but they didn’t want just anyone – they wanted IT support that would be focused on their unique needs, as well as helping guide them into the future.

That’s when they turned to Coleman Technologies.

As a custom jewellery boutique, José & Co. utilize their information technology as part of the foundation for their sales and communications. It’s not just about keeping records or making invoices – it’s about being able to connect to existing clients and prospective customers with speed and ease. It’s about being able to rest easy knowing that important files, emails, contacts, and calendars are kept secure from data loss or disaster. It’s about marketing and making the right impression with everyone that sends an email, calls, or comes in the shop.

The Situation: Looking for IT Support That Can Be Trusted

José Latchinian, the CEO of José & Co., said that he’d grown tired of IT support that wasn’t focused on the needs of his business. “As a designer, I need to devote my time and energy on something productive for me. I need someone that will guide me through resolving the issue, not speaking to me in technical language – someone that will communicate in layman’s terms. And if there’s an issue, I can communicate in layman’s terms that he understands too.”

He said that in the past, he’d dealt with IT companies that “danced around issues.” He didn’t want condescending technobabble – he wanted someone he could trust to provide leadership and straightforward service that he could rely upon.

The Resolution: An IT Company That Focuses on Proactive Solutions & Completely Managed and Customized Services

Coleman Technologies was recommended to José by a realtor friend, and right from the get-go, it was obvious that we were a good fit. “Darren Coleman, CEO of Coleman Technologies is very easy to communicate with,” said José. “I like that!. When I met with him, he was very straightforward. He used totally clear and concise language with no tone of condescension.”

We got to work right away, not only on addressing the existing performance and reliability issues of José’s systems, but also on planning for the future of his IT investments.

Some of the services we immediately began providing for José & Co. include:

- Remote Monitoring and Management – Keeping the company’s systems watched over 24/7 in order to proactively deal with IT issues as they arise and maintain a high standard of 99% uptime.

- Managed Anti-Virus – Safeguarding the company’s email and networks with state-of-the-art anti-virus software, so any form of malware is prevented from attacking their systems.

-Onsite & Offsite Backups – Not only providing onsite processes and products to safely backup the company’s important records and systems, but also securing them in an offsite data centre in case any disaster should ever befall their onsite equipment.

- Computer & Network Management – Regular maintenance, upgrades, and analysis of the company’s IT assets, in order to make sure everything is performing at its best and giving the best return on investment.

Together, we’re focused on the future. “They don’t turn around and make it just good enough for 6 months or a year,” said José. “It’s good for 5 years, and, if you want, you could change it anytime over the 5 year period.”

So what’s next for José and Co.’s relationship with Coleman Technologies? “I’d like to transfer everything over to them,” said José. “Get all of my IT needs under one roof. They have a proven track record – everyone has spoken very highly of them, and had nothing but praise.”

Having our IT services managed by Coleman Technologies has given us the ability to keep our computers up and running and BACKED UP REGULARLY. The only other service we used was Microsoft and it was difficult to get help when we needed it. Not so with Coleman. When we call we get a response within minutes. They’re definitely worth a try, as every IT department has different needs.

Kip Leith Independent Bankcard Solutions

extensive experience

The most advantageous reason in my experience to choose Coleman Technologies is the extensive experience the people and firm have of solving both everyday ‘mundane’ problems, and the most complicated problems that marketing people face while communicating via electronic technology. If you can keep realtors happy‎ and functioning, you will seem genius to normal people!

Ray Ayers, director Noran West Development Ltd

diligent in their work habits and also maintain a great working relationship with everyone in our office

They always arrive in a timely manner – are diligent in their work habits and also maintain a great working relationship with everyone in our office. We hope to have them working with us for a long time to come.

You’ll sleep better knowing that Coleman Technologies is part of your team

Knowing that the Coleman Technologies staff knows our needs and ensures that everything is up to date and running smoothly creates two equal benefits – less down time and less stress. Since adding Coleman Technologies to our team I can focus on other areas of the business. They collaborate with us to ensure our needs are covered and review our future needs, but never over sell us on purchasing equipment or services that we do not need. And most importantly, the staff are dependable. They always respond to our calls for assistance promptly and quickly assess if we can be assisted over the phone, or if one of the techs needs to come to our office. We are not left wondering when we can get help. You’ll sleep better knowing that Coleman Technologies is part of your team. They’re a professional, reliable firm that keeps up to date on technology and trends, and they focus on you the customer and your business to ensure you are informed on what could be beneficial to your business. They are always there to provide assistance. In the many years I have had their service, I have never been let down. They have always found a solution!

Working with them is a great way to offset that risk

Colman Technologies gives us peace of mind that someone “has our back” while we focus on doing what we do best in service to our own clients, as opposed to trying to stay up to date on tech issues in our “spare” time. I appreciate their ability to promptly respond to the occasional crisis so as to limit our downtime and get us back to doing productive work. Procrastination that leaves your business less than adequately protected can be costly in wasted time and resources, and could also potentially impact the reputation of your firm as well. Working with them is a great way to offset that risk.

Lawrence W. Coulter, Lawyer Langco Management Corp

We wouldn’t have anyone else work on our systems!

Having someone come in and help us manage our technical problems has been amazing! And we aren’t stuck on the phone trying to get a hold of support. We have great service to the office that is efficient, and they are in fixing the problem within a day or two! They provide great service and are friendly doing it! They also try to explain what is going on to us when there is a problem so we learn more about our systems, and can try and become somewhat self-sufficient in fixing the little things. They never expect us to understand, but they also never act like we can’t. These guys are awesome! They do superb work from the little fix-it’s with printers and error messages to setting up whole new systems. They are well versed in current technology and are always keeping the office updated as well. You never feel awkward around them when they come to work at your station and they always bring a positive attitude into the office. We wouldn’t have anyone else work on our systems!

We have never had to worry about not having our system on full operation

We have never had to worry about not having our system on full operation. My life before was all about chasing computer viruses and updating security systems, but now I just show up at the office and never have to think about my computer not working. Darren is very available to troubleshoot on weekends and evenings, which is great.

Highly recommended.

We are extremely happy with the service we have received from Darren Coleman and his team. They are very quick to respond to problems, and we have yet to encounter an IT issue that they were not able to promptly resolve at a reasonable cost. Highly recommended.

We found Coleman Technologies' offering to be perfect for small businesses.

It’s simply not feasible for a small business to hire an in-house IT employee due to costly overhead. When our accountant recommended Coleman Technologies, we found their offering to be perfect for small businesses.

We have referred your services to many of our clients and have received a very positive feedback.

The biggest benefit for us has been their expertise, timeliness of service, hands-on ownership, and concern for the problems and issues. Absolutely use Coleman Technologies as they are one company that will be there when you need them most, and are efficient and provide immediate assistance.

Coleman Technologies response time is VERY good, and we greatly appreciate that.

I love not having to deal with the frustration of trying to become IT experts, or take time away from doing what we do best to sort out IT issues. Their response time is VERY good, and we greatly appreciate that. They also explain things in terms we can understand and give what we feel is honest advice on how best to approach our challenges. Feeling that we can trust our IT advisor is a big deal. Darren and his team are the ones you want to keep your IT issues stress free so you can go on with business.

They provide personalized care, and help our company prepare for ongoing technology changes that can affect our business. We have been a long term satisfied customer. If in doubt, call me!
